My Favorite Statue

<>
I. bought this sculpture in a Vancouver art shop near Stanley Park, a long time ago. At first glance it's simply a crudely fashioned piece but as you focus on it, it tells its story..

It first  reminded me of the exercises we did in are school--take a handful of clay and produce a story in a brief time frame.The artist succeeded.

 
The artist scratched his name on the bottom: David Gray, 1974.
I'm left with a need to go hug a stranger..
